Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter - Fleetwood 1997 Pace Arrow Service Manual

Bathroom, galley, and patio 120-volt electrical outlets are
protected by a Grouud Fault Circuit Iuterrupter (GFCI).
This device is intended to protect you against the hazards of
electrical shocks possible when using electrical appliances in
the bathroom or galley or in damp areas. Should a circuit or
appliance (electric shaver, hair dryer, etc.) develop a potential
shock hazard, the GFCI device is designed to disconnect the
outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit), limiting your
exposure time.
Test the GFCI at least once a month. To test the GFCI:
1. Connect the main power cord to 120-volt AC.
2. Push the TEST button. The RESET button should pop out,
indicating that the protected circuit has been disconnected.
3. If the RESET button does not pop out when the test button is
pushed, a loss of ground fault protection is indicated. Do not
use any electrical outlets. Have the motor home electrical
system checked at an authorized Fleetwood Service Center
or by a qualified electrician. Do not use the system until the
problem has been corrected.
4. To restore power push the RESET button.
Your Owner's Information Package contains a card that can
be used to record test dates. Keep the card in a conspicuous
place and keep it up to date.
